If the assistent ref is in doubt, it's not offside. This one was so close he can never see that this was offside evne if he was offside by an inch. Assitent ref both has to see when the ball is passed and where the last defender is at the same time. He physically can't do that.

He could never have rules "Hey his hand is beyond the last line, if's offside". This just generously on one line. Even if he was closer to really be offside, it's still on one line unless he is clearly ahead.

I was very impressed by Croatia, and Modric is impressive. I hope they have an easier group and better luck next time so I can watch more of their matches. Being in a group with Spain and Italy and putting such good matches is big.

Sad thing about Football. They accept mistakes by judges and so ofc cheating too. I dont say spain cheated, cause they simple dont have the money to bribe the referees . But thats how it is, cauld easy stand 1:0 for Cro too I would say. But in the end it was a damn good football game and just this matters. So well my two favorite Teams in same group. My country out so GoGo Spain!

Lets Hope Torres gets his killer instinct back.

Thx@Keioh but we all know, as long germany qualifies for tournements their will just be easy groups for germans and they will call it then again ofc the group of death. Even if they would play in a group with Luxenburg, Austria and USA ^^

I was very impressed by Croatia. I think they should have at least earned a draw, they really tightened up the middle and made Spains passing machinery get stuck there, very flexible. Also, they showed that Spain is vulnerable to nice counter-attacks sometimes, that run by Modric was really great, too bad that Raktitic isn't too much of a goalscorer. On the other hand, Croatia got lucky that Mandzukics hand in Piques face wasn't called, Mandzukic really got to stop throwing his elbows/arms in other peoples face, sadly he's known for that. On the other hand, that Sergio Ramos tackle was a very dark yellow and a penalty in my eyes. I don't get how that was not called.

What's your problem here now? Random Germany bashing? Sure you would have volunteered to have The Netherlands, Portugal and Denmark in your group or what?

Croatia played well in all matches and its a shame that they are out but thats just how the EC is with 3 groups of death. Good teams get knocked out.

Its prolly easier to get out of the groups in the WC than the EC.

Spain was kind of terrible against Croatia and they have the referees to thank for getting through.
That was probably the clearest penalty in this tournament so far.

Don't see them getting far with performances like that, and even Greece was more inspiring than last night.

e. That was not an offside goal, in this tournament we've had way too many wrong offside calls and that was not one.
Navas being offside when the pass came to Iniesta didn't matter at all, he had 0% influence on that situation. Croatian defence was trying to offside-trap Iniesta and failed, end of story.

I really hope Spain would start using a striker in their formation. A proper one like Llorente.

Watch alderamin's video from 5:35 to 5:45 and you'll see why Navas was offside.

Nononono. The moment you refer to is the simplest offside case. Why you even bring it up? People know what offside is. That example was to show when you interfere with a play aka when you touch the ball. Navas didn't get the ball. Iniesta did and he was onside. He controlled the ball with his arm, but that's another debate.

Did you watch both parts completely? If so I don't know what to say.

Iniesta passed the ball to Navas.

Navas was offside (passive offside) when the ball was passed to Iniesta. There would be no offside if Iniesta had scored the goal and Navas hadn't touched it. But Navas scored (so his passive offside became active offside) and thus the goal shouldn't count as explained in your video.


EDIT: Actually, I think I get it now. But I'm pretty sure that this rule was changed a couple of years ago and my logic would have applied before the change.

Well, in this video, Michael Ballack says the goal is onside, so unless you know something he doesn't, I'm going to take Ballack's word that the goal is onside.

That's not how the rule works. He was onside when Iniesta pased the ball and not part of play when he was offside.

You really want to say that once you are offside once you are for the entire game? The only way he could have been offside is if you rule he should be penalized for when Iniesta got the ball. You can claim he got an advantage being offside at that point because he ends up scoring. But wheneteher he was onside or offside wouldn't have made a difference so where is the advantage?. The defenders tried an offside trap and failed. That pass on Iniesta is where the goal was won and Iniesta was onside.

Gaining an advantage means the ball deflects from the post or from an opponent. You can try to stretch it as far as the Croatia vs Ireland goal but refs don't even do that.

There has been some debate about if this rule is a good rule. You can have several players be offside and use them as a distraction and pass the ball to soneone who is barely onside. This is why with free kicks there is otften someone offside on purpose. There is a grey area where passive offside should be penalized and FIFA has said they are looking into simplifying the rule and doing away with passive and active offside. But the rule as it is is at it is. So don't know how one can claim it was offside.

Dude you were already told you interpret the rule wrong. What more can be said? Being part of active play when offside means you are penaltilised. He wasn't.
He didn't interfere or take part in the play because he didn't touch the ball. Only later in a new situation when Iniesta passed him the ball Navas was offside. Then the question is if he had an advantage from being in an offside position when he was passively offside. I would argue he wasn't. The refs apparently judged that even the goal of Croatia vs Ireland was not an advantage being offside. I would say that could be an example where a player is passively offside with an advantage.



By that video, he was in the offside, because he was part of the active play via having an advantage by being in that position (very close to the other player so the ball could have been passed to him to avoid the goalkeeper and score a goal).

But it's over now, so it doesn't matter. gg

CROATIA NEVER LOSES CAUSE IT'S OUR FAULT IT'S ALWAYS REFEREES/"DEATH GROUPS"/BAD TEAM MANAGEMENT ETC. CROATIA FOREVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

But seriously, I don't think anyone expected anything different, unless they're a deluded fanboy. Quality Croatian football died back in like 1998, lol.
Not to mention our quality national football league with teams (including the two "strongest" ones, NK Dinamo and NK Hajduk) which would probably lose to a paraolympic team with 2 red cards.
"Good luck." "I don't need luck. I have ammo."
